We didn't meet the host even though in the ad it said that he lived there...there was only one bedroom in this apartment. The person who was suppose to meet us there to let us in was about 40 minutes late. We had trouble with communication at the beginning - sent two e-mails without any response. We did have a question later in the evening and it was answered very fast.

Plus the pictures are not accurate - the bed linen was old and the balcony did overlook street vendors so we didn't use it. The area was very much what the ad described - very Thailand. We felt safe as there was a guard on duty all the time.
